babe. haven't even read your whole post yet - just wanted to help with the 'LinkWithin' blog feature. Go to my blog (or any other with the "linkwithin' feature) and click on the 'Linkwithin' logo below the little strip of three photos. It's a separate widget/ not Blogger related. I believe you will be able to set it up from there. Give me a holla if you need more help.(It took me FOREVER to figure it out!) Best, Donna

OK, now I've read your whole post and I couldn't agree more. When my husband's grandmother died, I just wanted a little keepsake, nothing grand. I have a small hand-held mirror she used in the mornings and it gives me great joy...

i LOVE these...so heartwarming...i have my grams daily word (paper flipchart with a little calico border on it) i adore it... i feel her presence every time i read it... daily. 10 years later... that is an awesome gift.xoxo

What special mementos to have...precious items that were used daily, and they are right at home, in your home. To have Bud and Maxine's names right there too makes them even more personal, more special.

These trinkets (yes, that's how you spell it) are most definitely treasures.

hey friend, love the trinkets! I have a clay dish that my mom made when she was a little tike .. it is on my desk filled with little seashells...treasure trinket i would say! ... thanks for keeping that candle lit.. Dad has lung cancer..and..well... let's just say..he will need all the prayers he can get... we are going to keep him as positive and busy as possible.... have no email to send this update to..hope you don't mind it here.. thanks again.. I am going to light my candle now too! :)
